Hi Dan / Flynn: I am ordering some extra resistors and relays as per recommendation of p-car. The "wing" does get hot which means the thermostat is working ok. I now have a good DIY project. This is my first 911 so I thought that was normal. Do you think I got some damage to my engine? thank´s for the reply.

Danny,
You're correct, your thermostat is probably working just fine but the fan (most likely) isn't.
As ou said, the "wing" gets hot which means thermostat opens but you need to check if the fan is working also.
Your symptoms are exactly what working thermostat, not working fan would be: hot enige while standing still (no air flow to the cooler), cool when running (you have air flow).
Search here and more from P-car & E.J.'s page for more info.
Since you weren't on red zone yet and probably didn't stay hot for that long I don't think you did any damage but check the fan or install manual switch for oil cooler fan (DIY at p-car.com).
BTW, I used to have few KTM dirt bikes, couple of 250's and one 600 cc thumper (what I beast! That's the one on avatar)
